Scraping paint
So, what has this reporter done on Day 1 of her three-day Independence Day weekend? She has scraped paint off the bathroom walls and (high) ceiling, then sanded. And she has done all this using books piled on top of her nightstand (since it's a bit taller than a chair) because she's too cheap to buy a ladder.That had to be one of the most unpleasant tasks this side of hell, and it doesn't help that the place has been neglected for years. One section of the ceiling is just going to be lumpy, because it would take an experienced drywaller to figure out what's going on and how to fix it.
Next steps: Drink more Gatorade, take much-needed shower, clean mold off remaining paint.
